Abstract:
A pair of circuit boards (60, 62) with holes (50, 56), are connected by right angle contacts (10) that are each formed of a single piece of metal with a 90° bend forming first and second elongated contact portions (20, 22) extending along perpendicular axes (24, 26). Each elongated portion has a resiliently compressible pin end (30, 32) for pushing into a circuit board hole, and has a distal end at the bend. A slot (70) at the bend extends into each distal end, with each end of the slot forming a push surface (80, 82) that lies on the corresponding axis. Each pin end of the connector can be installed by a tool projection that enters one end of a slot and pushes the corresponding pin end (20) along its axis. One of the elongated portions (22) can be longer than the other one (20), and an insulative body (64) is attached to the longer elongated portion.
